Romi Li (利绮) rose to prominence in Taiwan during the late 1990s. She won listeners over with her clear, gentle, and healing vocals that perfectly suited urban romance stories. Aside from these two tracks 爱太远 and 体贴, her songs “藏不住” (Can’t Hide It) and “天堂” (Heaven) are also highly regarded by Mandopop fans. I dont know why she cannot be more popular. She is a great singer !!
